  10. Wool, Fleece or Polypropylene Why wool and pile? When wet, wool and pile retain much of their insulating quality and keep you warm. That’s not true for down or cotton, which are useless when wet. Military surplus wool garments are often the least expensive warm clothes you’ll find. Synthetic polyester fabrics (with names like polar fleece, polypropylene, capilene, polarguard, fiberfill, polarpile and others) maintain insulating qualities even when wet, and they dry quickly. Do not bring only cotton clothing! Your life could depend on staying warm when wet. What to Bring…

  12. BE PREPARED! • Come prepared to hike in a blizzard, in hot sunny weather, or in a rainstorm • Weather is variable.
